State Law: Good Samaritan
  • Good Samaritan law enacted
  • No Good Samaritan law enacted

Fear of police involvement is the most common reason for not calling 911 during a medical emergency. In response to this issue, numerous states have enacted laws that exempt from arrest and prosecution and limit liability for any victim or “Good Samaritan” who renders aid in an alcohol or drug-related emergency. Referred to as 911 Good Samaritan, 911 Lifeline, Medical Amnesty, or Medical Immunity policies, these laws seek to offer limited, situational immunity as an incentive for rendering life-saving measures. In other words, if an underage individual (i.e., under 21 years of age) consumed or was in possession of alcohol illegally, he/she would not face any criminal consequences if medical assistance was sought for themselves or another person who was in a state of emergency as a result of consumption.

The above map identifies Good Samaritan laws that are specific to alcohol or alcohol/drugs. It does not include Good Samaritan statutes that are exclusive to drugs. In the wake of the opioid epidemic, many state legislatures have added drug overdose provisions to existing Good Samaritan alcohol laws.

**Drunkenness is not considered a crime in some states; therefore, the figures may vary widely from state to state

Limited, incomplete, or no data were reported by Alabama, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, and New York in the 2019 Uniform Crime Report. Data should be used with caution and should not be compared to other states or previous year data.

Note: Because the number of agencies submitting arrest data varies from year to year, users are cautioned about making direct comparisons between 2019 arrest totals and those published in previous years' editions of Crime in the United States. Further, arrest figures may vary widely from state to state because some Part II crimes of the Uniform Crime Report are not considered crimes in some states.
